Introduction to XI technology

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working in SAP HR module as an ABAPer. In our project we have decided to implement the interfacing of SAP with the legacy system using XI technology.( Currently we are fetching the data from the legacy system - oracle server through flat files ).Right now I am a novice having no idea about this technology. Please suggest me some websites , books that will provide me with basic understanding of the XI concepts .

Thanks & Regards,

Malathi V.
